Farnell provides a diverse selection of oscillators tailored for high-performance applications needing precise timing and frequency stability. Our range includes crystal oscillators, MEMS oscillators (both configurable and programmable), oven controlled oscillators, voltage-controlled oscillators and temperature-compensated options to meet a variety of technical needs.

Oscillators are essential components that generate consistent, periodic signals, acting as the heartbeat of many electronic circuits. By converting direct current (DC) into a repetitive waveform, oscillators establish a stable frequency for critical operations in devices such as clocks, processors and communication systems. Different oscillator types vary by design, with crystal oscillators excelling in accuracy, MEMS oscillators offering flexibility and low power and voltage-controlled types enabling frequency adjustments for specialized tasks.

With Farnell, you get access to oscillators with a range of frequency stability, compact designs and low-jitter performance, making them ideal for applications requiring precision, durability and adaptability. Our products are built to support your most exacting requirements in industrial control, medical instrumentation and consumer electronics. Industries relying on our oscillators include telecommunications, where they drive signal transmission stability; consumer electronics, for seamless clocking in processors; and automotive and medical fields, where precise timing under various environmental conditions is essential.
